  • Validated Part / Validated Contribution
    We have designed our own BioBrick Parts related to our project, and documented their experimental characterisation on the Registry
  • Collaboration
    We have collaborated with other teams, including the University of Oxford team on different parts of our projects, including the Human Practices section, wiki building and biology.
  • Human Practices
    Throughout the project we have implemented cycles including the AREA framework and the EDP cycle in order to ensure that our project was thoughtful and in line with responsible research guidelines. In conjunction with this, we analysed different areas of responsibility that arise at the intersection of science and industry.

  • Integrated Human Practices
    Building on our work in Human Practices, we had extensive contact with different stakeholders in order to ensure that our project was being influenced by the people who it would affect at every stage. Their feedback was fed directly back into our design.
  • Improve a Previous Part
    We improved the wild type PETase Part designed by Harvard in 2016. Click the links to find the original Part and our improved Part.
  • Model Your Project
    We designed models to inform different sections of our project, including the biology and the filter design.
  • Demonstration of Your Work
    We have been able to demonstrate success in all areas of our project. We have successfully captured microfibres from a washing cycle using our filter design, developed enzymes capable of degrading PET with improved stability, demonstrated our ability to wirelessly control the delivery of the enzymes as well as the water flow into our filter unit, and more.
